Hello!
I need to go fro jfk to Manhattan. I would like to take the subway at jamaica station. How can I reach Jamaica station at my arrival at the airport? With airtrain? And where is the nearest stop of the airtrain? Where I can buy both tickets?
Thankyou for any suggestion.

Where is Airline Terminal Route located outside Term 7?

I need to go to Term 4 for international flight and have 1 1/2 hours to get bags then get to term 4 and check in for flight and go thru customs? That enough time?
Thanks!

From your departure point check your baggage though to your international carrier if your domestic carrier has such an agreement with the international carrier. Must do. Saves you having to retrieve your luggage and transfer it yourself to the other carrier, thus giving you plenty of time between terminals.

Take the bus to port authority and then you can buy a bus ticket to Albany. ir you can take the bus to Penn Station and take a train to Albany. Albany is aproximately 2 hours from the city.

i am arriving on a domestic flt into t-5 and need to catch an international flt out of t-4.is 4 hrs between flts enough to clear luggage from domestic flt and immigration for international flt?

Four hours should be plenty of time. T4 is not as crowded as other airport. Depending on the next destination and airline, there might be a long line to check in, but seldom get as messy, say Miami or Chicago. Good luck!

Hi,
I'm taking the train from Albany to NYC and I should be arriving into Penn Station around 3:35pm. I have to catch a flight to Salt Lake City at 7:30pm. Do I have enough time to get through security and catch my flight? Should I try to get an earlier train? Also is there another way to get to JFK instead of a taxi cause it's so expensive?
Merry Christmas!!!
